The frying process is not complicated, but it has its own nuances, because in the end you want to get a tender and juicy fillet. For this, breading or batter is most often used.

How to fry chicken breast in a frying pan

How to fry chicken breasts so that they are tender and flavorful, and not dry? Very tender, juicy and tasty breast meat. It fries quickly.

Recipe 1. Fried chicken breast with lemon juice: quick!

Chicken breast - 1 pc.;
Lemon - 0.5 pcs.;
Salt;
Vegetable oil for frying

Separate the meat from the bone. Cut into portions (you'll get 4 pieces, maybe smaller). If the thickness of the pieces exceeds 2-2.5 cm, cut them lengthwise into flatter ones. It is important to cut the pieces across the grain. The fibers in the breast are located in different directions - so be careful, watch how the muscles go and cut them so that the piece does not end up with long strands that are difficult to chew;
Sprinkle the breast meat with lemon juice (do not squeeze), add salt. Let stand for 5-10 minutes;
heat the oil in a frying pan (approximately 1 cm layer). Quickly fry the breasts over medium heat - as soon as they are browned on one side, turn them over to the other side and fry again until browned;
check readiness - lightly press a piece of meat with a spatula - if it doesn’t bleed, it’s ready.

Dear friends, please note that chicken breasts fry very quickly, 3-4 minutes (maximum 5) on each side. Of course, frying time may depend on the number of breasts in the frying pan, their thickness, and the intensity of the fire. Focus on a pleasant browning of the chicken meat (frying until brown and charred is completely useless: if it dries out, you won’t bite)).

Why do you need lemon juice when frying breasts?

Lemon juice soaks the breasts and, when combined with hot oil, forms a viscous film - a protective layer on the surface of the meat that prevents chicken juices from escaping. Therefore, the breast turns out very tender, soft and juicy, with a joyful, fresh aroma. I first tried this option for preparing chicken breasts in Greece. And I was amazed by their taste - if I didn’t know what I ordered, I would never have guessed that this delicious, juicy meat was our traditionally dried chicken breast (white, tasteless chicken meat). I was simply stunned by surprise.

Then I ate fried breasts in Cyprus - just as amazingly juicy and tasty. Only over time it dawned on me that the problem was lemon juice, which residents of southern countries use in almost all dishes: to soften and add juiciness to meat, to acidify and add fresh notes to salads, and in desserts, and as a sauce for seafood, and for kebabs, which, at first, are very salty, but when poured on them, they are delicious and correct.

Recipe 2. How to fry chicken breast with paprika

When I answer the question of what is best to cook with chicken breast, everyone is surprised by the answer. I say just fry it and serve with some sauce. Do you also think that fried breast will definitely be a little dry? Then let's fry it together and you will see that a properly fried chicken breast is very juicy and tasty.

1 chicken breast,
paprika pieces,
ground red hot pepper,
dried herbs and celery and parsley roots,
ground coriander,
salt,
a little chicken fat and vegetable oil.

Bring the breast to room temperature in advance. If the chicken is frozen, first defrost it in the refrigerator, then on the table. Wash and dry with a paper towel. We remove the bone from the breast, separating the fillet from it with a sharp knife.

Cut the chicken fillet lengthwise so that the thickness of the piece does not exceed 2 cm. Generously rub the breasts with spices mixed with a couple of drops of vegetable oil. Just a little salt.

Heat a thick-walled frying pan well, melt a little chicken fat in it, remove the cracklings. Leave the pan on fairly high heat.

Place each piece of breast into the pan. Do not stack the fillets on top of each other, just side by side, and preferably not tightly.

We do not cover with a lid, only with a splash guard. We don’t turn down the fire. So we sear everything and fry for about 5 minutes. When the edges of the chicken fillet turn white on top, you can turn it over. Fry for the same amount of time on the other side. If necessary, then turn it on the side that did not touch the pan and turn off the heat. Even after this, do not cover with a lid, do not remove from the pan until it cools down a little, in the meantime you can make a side dish or sauce.

Preparation:

1. First, we need to beat the chicken breast with a special hammer. I place the fillet on a cutting board, cover with cling film and pound it gently. You don't need to knock too hard to prevent the meat from tearing. Then we need to divide the chop into 2-3 strips. We salt each strip and add spices and herbs to taste. Place a piece of cheese and wrap it in a roll.

2. Make the batter. Pour flour, egg into a bowl, add salt and red pepper. Stir, if the mixture turns out too thick, beat in another egg and mix with a whisk or fork. The batter should have a liquid consistency.

3. Heat a frying pan with vegetable oil. We crush the rolls in flour, then dip them in batter and place them in the frying pan. Fry on both sides until golden brown.

4. Now peel the tomato, cut it into not too thin half rings and place it on top of each roll. This way the tomato will take away the excess salt and spiciness, and the dish will be simply delicious.

5. Add water to the frying pan, approximately 100-150 ml and simmer under a closed lid for another 15 minutes.

Important! Add warm or hot water, otherwise cold water may damage the pan due to temperature changes.

Also, depending on my mood, I can wrap pieces of ham or pre-fried mushrooms in such rolls, it also turns out very interesting

The dish is ready! As you can see, it takes very little time to prepare, but it turns out quite tasty. I also prepare a simple side dish for this dish in the form of buckwheat, rice or pasta and everyone remains full and incredibly satisfied.

How and how much to fry chicken fillet

Surely many people know that chicken meat is quite dry, and therefore requires a special approach to cooking, and, even more so, to frying.

Here it is important not only to choose the right cooking temperature, but also to be able to determine how long it takes to fry the chicken fillet in a frying pan until cooked, and at the same time not to dry it out.

First, you should fry the chicken at two temperature levels. First, we send the fillet cut into pieces into a very heated frying pan, treated with oil, fry on both sides literally until the first crust, and only then reduce the flame and bring the meat to readiness. The golden brown crust will allow the juice to be retained inside the meat, so the finished dish will not seem dry.
Secondly, you should note the roasting time. Allow 15 minutes for the fillet cut into small pieces to be ready. The chop takes no longer to cook - in just 10-15 minutes (5-7 minutes are spent on each side when frying over a slightly less intense fire). Well, to fry a whole fillet treated with spices, it will take half an hour, at an average or slightly less than average temperature.

If you plan to fry meat with onions or mushrooms, then add a vegetable (mushrooms in slices) chopped into rings, half rings, strips or cubes into the frying pan 10 minutes after the start of frying the meat and continue heat treatment for another 5-10 minutes.
Sauces will help make the dish more juicy. When the meat is almost ready, add sour cream, cream or broth with flour to the container and simmer everything together under a lid over low heat for about 10 minutes, then the chicken slices will turn out deliciously tender.
